Zotac 1060 3Gb Amp Edition - Hynix memory - 15mh
Gigabyte 1060 3Gb G1 gaming - Hynix memory - 15mh
Gigabyte 1060 3Gb Windforce 2 - MI ( mining edition ) - Hynix memory - 15mh - 3 months warranty, watch out

All tested last week.
Never suppose memory is Samsung, even on 6Gb. Better test 1060 before bulk buying, you can have ugly surprises as stated above.

Good day!
Can someone help me, I am staying now at crossroad: what is the best GPU for mining Etherum now: 1060 6 Gb or 1070 8Gb ? And which brand is better ?
I am going to buy MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X+ 6G, but I doubt little bit, maybe there is much better GPU for mining.
Help me to choose...
it is all about hashrates and capability to overclock...

I have  2 x Gaming X 3Gb samsung, 23.8 - 24 dual mining sia, 52 power -400 core +830 mem, the best implementation of 1060 i have seen so far.
I don't think 6gb is worth it, check the dag calculator above.

if yes, you have to reach 100mh/s with 4 cards with claymore or genoil

EVGA is Samsung
Asus Hynix

I  cant OC more like 400MHZ Asuses (hynix) because its unstable ... Its posible to get more from Claymore or genoil ? I dont think soo

[Django69]

samsung => 25mh/s
hynix => 19/20mh/s

try with claymore !

[B2555M]

Which version of claymore? And what a oc settings?

[sNaKeyz0r91]

Try latest  version (10.0) He's saying he has improved hashrate for nvidia.
Good luck.

Getting around 20 using Claymore ETH/SIA dual miner, dcri set to 55. 

[kinzey]

nice info... thank you!!!

[killerelite]

I get only 19 mh when mining eth so I mine others algos like skunk and skien etc

Good luck.

I get 3 less mh/sec with claymore like with Ethminer "for gtx 1060" I testing it 4 hours ....

I have now 86-87mh /sec with 2x samsung 2xhynix...

Hynix is just bad  thats all ... Samsung have 24-25mh/sec hynix 17-18mh/s for me ... When i try gif more like +350MHZ memory it crashed ...

[DeepTerrfici]

I'm running 7 msi gaming 1060 x 6g cards.
windows 10 anniversary edition
376.09 geforce driver
afterburner settings: +140 core clock, +950 mem clock.
dual mining eth/sia
only setting changed from default in miner: -dcri is set to 46
average effective hashrate for last 24 hours for eth according to ethermine.org is 167.7 MH/S (averaging 152.83 shares per hour)
calculated average hashrate for last 24 hours for sia according to nanopool.org is 2640.9 MH/S (averaging 61.7 shares per hour)
i'm calculating shares per hour by the info given in claymore (total shares divided by number of hours its been running). nanopool is reporting that i'm getting about 3 or slightly more times that number of shares of sia per hour.
rig drawing 1130 watts.

i just started running claymore 10. previous claymore did seem slightly more stable, but v10 has only been running for 23 hours.
a notable improvement with claymore 10 is that at 23 hours, i have 0 rejected shares of either eth or sia. I was getting 1 and rarely even a second rejected eth share every 1000 accepted shares with previous claymore.

any questions or tips/advice are appreciated.

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to this. Currently using 6 x Zotac P106-100 w/ Samsung memory - Power 75% / Core:+0(1695) / Mem: +500 (4513), fan: Auto, Temp: 62C ==> 23.7Mh/s

Want to run in at this setting for at least 24hrs before moving higher, so your settings definitely helped.

How do u test your limits and stop?

[preda]

new nicehash miner can push my 1060 cards more than claymore tho.


6x 1060 3gb with nicehash 132mh eth + 3100 mh decred or 143mh eth only

6x 1060 3gb with claymore 128mh eth+2400mh decred or 144mh eth only

[VB1001]

What can you recommend Graphics Cards for 6GB:

Asus Dual GTX 1060 OC 6GB or Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB?

your welcome, glad to hear my setting useful for others  

im testing usually until claymore show error code or driver crash

and i also use NVSMI to see power limit and power draw from each card before apply it on Afterburner
the highest one is Gigabyte : 180 W default
